YouTube reviews of young black dudes being amazed by classic rock/80s stuff has become a great genre.

I've been following these guys for a year or two. They do a lot of reaction stuff to metal.

Yeah, that's a bummer. My buddy lives right next to Hershey, so that would have been fun.

I love their reactions. They've done lots of Metallica and Gojira etc. They are big Gojira fans, and went to their show last year and got to meet the band and stuff. Their reactions seem very genuine, and they just come across as two cool dudes who are expanding their musical horizons.

What I like most about it is that this guy in particular seems to find things that I never picked up in decades of listening to the songs- Tom Petty in “Don’t Come Around Here No More” For example has a vocal that’s somewhat reggae- influenced. Wouldn’t have picked that up and he is correct.

I've been watching sets from Woodstock 99. Most of the sets don't hold up at all. Rage does.

Also, Alanis Morissette's set is awesome. Fight me.

I was there. Day 2 I saw an insane lineup including this set.

GTFO. Were you one of the people wading through the mud/human waste?

Serious questions: how far were you from the stage? Was it really 1.5 miles between the two main stages? Did you pay the $4 for bottled water?

I hate music fests. They're great in theory, but they always tend to be too long, too hot, too crowded, etc.

[PFiDC]

I did get some "mud" on me at one point, yes. People were playing in it and throwing it, the savages. I wasn't thrilled.

Yes water was $4 a bottle

It was quite a distance between stage 1 and 2. Our tent was behind stage 2 and I spent all of day 3 at stage 2. Finished the show with Godsmack and Megadeth.

On day 2 we started very close to the stage but as the day went on we needed to forage for water and food but that wasn't easy. It took 4 sets to get from the stage to the concessions. We finished the day quite far from the stage.

After Megadeth we started packing up and I noticed my eyes were burning and there was a glow in the horizon. As we walked towards the busses home we noticed rioting, fires, looting, etc. Busses were just taking random people. I have no idea how we ended up on the right bus but we did. I truly believe that was the death of the great American music festival.

The only music festival I can ever see myself attending again is Bottlerocck in Napa. But I was never a festival guy in the first place; I went to Coachella once, and it was awful. Almost as bad as the one time I ever went to San Diego Comic-Con.

There are lots of fantastic blues festivals out there if that's your thing.

I enjoyed going to Ozzfest back in the day. I was also in my 20's at that point, not my mid to late 30's. I don't think I could make an all day festival at my age now honestly.

[tifosi77]

That's at least part of where I'm coming from, Skully. I'm gonna be 50 years old soon, I need a seat. lol

[DigitalGypsy66]

I would love to get to Jazz Fest in New Orleans someday. But that's about it these days.

The last all day show I did was the punk rock camping thing in Ohio, which I think was in 2018. Ended up showing up late because I couldn't find the venue, left with two bands that still hadn't played and had planned on making the drive back here that night since I'm too old to camp. I made it 20 minutes down the road before I checked into the first decent hotel I could find.

Yes, I'm officially too old for all day shows.

The ES-335 (and its variants/spinoffs) is the only semi-hollow guitar I'd actually want to have.

RIP Trini

Moving my response here because off topic in RIP thread...

Speaking of semi-hollows, I actually bought one back in September. Not a Gibson off-shoot:



I love it. Probably need to have a little bit of fret work done (they're a little high for my tastes, even in comparison to my Yamaha acoustic) but it sounds amazing in comparison to the Ibanez super strat I'd been playing since 2010.
